My memory takes me back to my childhood
G7 C
Back to the early days of radio
F
Where I sat and listened to the Grand Ol' Opry
G7 C
And Roy Acuff singing from the soul
F
There's a song about the great Smokey Mountains
G7 C
And the song about the Wabash Cannon Ball
F
And my biggest dream was someday I would go there
G7 C
On the stage of the greatest show of all
F C
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music
F G7
I am proud that I was taught right from wrong
F C
And I'm proud to be a part of this great family
G7 C
For there's nothing like a good old country song
F
Now the Cannon Ball it was a great song
G7 C
I still remember each and every word
F
And someday we'll all fly home to glory
G7 C
On the wings of The Great Speckled Bird
F C
And I'm proud that I was raised on country music
F G7
I am proud that I was taught right from wrong
F C
And I'm proud to be a part of this great family
